construction of this character which will. 5 properly support acigarette or the like dur-- mg combustion; will permit or promote freecombustion; and which will prevent the dropping or spreading ofashesresulting from the combustion. a o

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combination and arrangements of partshereinafter described and cit aimed. I The inventi n will be bestunderstood by '15 reference to the accompanying drawings forming a partof this specification, and in which,

Fig. 1, is a longitudinaljsection of a cigarette holder embodying theinvention;

Fig. 2 a longitudinalsection of a casing or barrel employed in theconstruction and shown as removed or detached from the other parts; andy .Fig. 3 a transverse section taken on line 33 of Fig. 1.

r The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawingscomprises the usual mouth piece 4 having the usual socket 5 therein forthe reception of the end of'a cigarette 6 or the like. The mouth piece 4is provided with an externally threaded nipple 7 having an abutmentshoulder 8 at its inner end and a hollow casing or barrel 9 is threadedon said nipple to-abut against said shoulder 8. The barrel or casing9 isprovided in its sides with longitudinal recesses 10 to fit thelongitudinal sides of the cigarette 6, thus supporting said cigarettethrough its entire length. The barrel 9 is vertically elongated so as toprovide free air spaces 11 both above and below the cigarette 6, thuspermitting and promoting free combustion thereof. The barrel 9 is openat its free end and is there provided with a retaining lip or ledge 12adapted to retain the ashes of combustion therein.

By this arrangement a cigarette or the like will be properly supportedin the'casing or barrel 9 throughout its entire length;

so complete and proper combustion permitted and promoted; and the ashesof combustion retained in the holder until it is desired to dischargethe same, which may be readily done. The specific form and arrangementof parts constitutes one for the purpose.

WVhile I have illustrated and described the preferred form ofconstruction for carrying my 1n vention into effect, this is capable ofyarlation and modification without departmg from the spirit of theinvention. 1, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precisedetails of construction set forth, but deslre to avail myself of suchvariations and modifications as come within the scope of the appendedclaims.
